Chapter 291: Entering Gantz

“That’s right. That’s the fishy part.”

Chen Chen nodded. “According to the plot of the original comics, humanity had defeated the aliens. This is pretty far fetched. After all, humans have manufactured s.p.a.cecraft, yet their weapons are still stuck at the level of conventional firearms and cold weapons... Even putting that aside, I prefer the aliens who have weapons of ma.s.s destruction as a trump card. Even if they can’t destroy Earth, it’ll be a piece of cake to destroy humans.

“But now, it seems that human civilization has not gone extinct because of war. In other words, either the aliens used some superior method or something else destroyed the human race.”

“So, do we still head to Gantz’s dimension to search for more advanced technology?”

Little X said, “I’m worried that their technology was annihilated along with human civilization.”

“Nah, that’s good news for me.”

Chen Chen waved his hand decisively. “If human civilization had perished in the ravages of war, there would be nothing left. However, now it seems that, after human civilization was wiped out for some unknown reason, those buildings have been preserved instead. Doesn’t this mean that the technology relating to the Gantz black sphere might have survived?”

“So, that’s it.”

Little X suddenly understood. “Just like in Elysium’s world?”

“Indeed.”

Chen Chen nodded but something occurred to him again and suddenly his expression shifted. “Still, I’d prefer that the extinction of mankind was caused by aliens and not something similar to those three sculptures...”

At this point in the discussion, Chen Chen and Little X had weighed the pros and cons. After Chen Chen silently calculated the energy left in the USB flash drive, he suddenly said, “X, is there a backup of Elysium?”

“Nope. But I can download it now.”

Little X asked, “Is there something you want to get from Elysium?”

“Of course. I want to take out that ‘Bugatti-Folge’ luxury s.p.a.ceship’.”

Chen Chen replied with a serious expression, “This vehicle would be the easiest method to escape gravity and travel in outer s.p.a.ce.”

Little X silently estimated the s.p.a.ceship’s weight. “Indeed, this is probably the best choice for visits to alternate dimensions. In addition to lightweight and small size, it also has the ability to travel in outer s.p.a.ce. It can just about cope with whatever conditions are on the other side of the pa.s.sage. Still, you’re thinking of using it in Gantz’s dimension?”

“Yes, I’m going to look for the Gantz black sphere’s technology in the world of Gantz.”

Chen Chen affirmed. “The plot in the comics has revealed everything. The black sphere is created by the human government and the Gantz black spheres even have a dedicated a.s.sembly line. As for the source of technology, it came from an alien civilization that was about to be destroyed. Before being destroyed, they sent their scientific and technological data to Earth through an information channel. Thus, those empty rooms came about as well as the amazing teleporting and human replicating technology.

“But now it appears that the Gantz sphere’s technology is still incomplete. For the black sphere to teleport humans, it needs the support of other facilities. This would be the technology we must look for in Gantz’s dimension. Nonetheless, there’s a whole planet over there. Without any transportation, it’d be difficult to move around.”

With that, Chen Chen temporarily closed the channel that was connected to Gantz.

According to Chen Chen’s previous testing, the portal opening had a certain degree of repeatability, allowing temporary closure. As long as no other channel was opened, the previous channel would be retained.

Moreover, using the first form of the USB drive to extract items would not affect the reopening of the said portal.

At this time, following the discussion between the two, Elysium s.p.a.ce was downloaded again. Meanwhile, Chen Chen used the method of extraction to directly obtain the red Bugatti from the movie.

In an instant, a dark red car, over four meters long and less than two meters tall, appeared in their reality out of thin air.

This “car” was entirely streamlined, just like an actual red sports car, but the only difference from a sports car was that it had no tires. Only the two plasma pulse booster engines at the rear were in charge of breaking free of gravity.

The interior of the “car” had four seats, of which there was a main driver’s seat on the right and three pa.s.senger seats on the left. It could carry a total of four pa.s.sengers.

In the movie, the protagonist used a delayed explosive gun to fire a bullet into the opponent’s engine when they were taking off. When the opponent was about to enter the supersonic state, he detonated the bullet and caused the s.p.a.ceship to crash outside the city.

This also showed that this kind of s.p.a.cecraft was only an ordinary civilian model and did not have advanced protection capabilities.

Of course, there were also military s.p.a.ceships with protective capabilities in the movie, but their sizes were far beyond what Chen Chen could extract.

Chen Chen patted the car-like s.p.a.ceship and said, “Bring the pressure sensor and weigh this car.”

Immediately, a Black Knight brought the pressure sensor over and everyone worked together to lift the s.p.a.cecraft onto the sensor, then measured its weight at once.

The weight of this “Bugatti-Folge” s.p.a.ceship was unexpectedly light, only about 1400kg, which was less than a ton and a half.

“It’s almost the same weight as a Medpod 3000.”

Chen Chen did some silent calculations but was not rea.s.sured and he asked Little X, “How about it? Can I enter the world of Gantz fully equipped and with the s.p.a.ceship?”

“After calculation, the power left in the USB drive isn’t a problem, but the only problem is that, after the s.p.a.ceship is brought into Gantz’s world, it can’t be brought back to reality because there isn’t sufficient energy for its return. That is, for this mission to Gantz, the s.p.a.ceship must be abandoned regardless of mission outcome.”

Chen Chen was silent for a while before nodding. “Understood. You can insert your clone X-112 into the Bugatti s.p.a.ceship and let it take charge of piloting. This time I’ll go there myself.”

“... Got it.”

Little X knew that it could not stop Chen Chen, but still said, “Please be careful.”

“Don’t worry, as long as I don’t encounter the type of sculptures that were in Elysium or if they’re not in an active state, I’ll be fine.”

Chen Chen shook his head serenely. “And don’t worry about aliens or anything like that. The ruins of Tokyo have already told us that Earth is already in the state of an extinct civilization. If it were occupied by aliens, this wouldn’t be how it looks like...”

At this point, Chen Chen himself opened the portal to the dimension of Gantz. This time, he also wore a GS Combat Suit in addition to a PK Armor before he walked into the channel with the two Black Knights.

Behind the two Black Knights, the small Bugatti s.p.a.ceship also floated up amid the buzzing of its engines and drifted toward the pa.s.sage...

In the next moment, the black light had swallowed their figures.
